Family & Friends Mourn NCU Alumnus Keith Basinski

Minneapolis, MN - The North Central University family is saddened to learn that a member of our alumni community, Keith Basinski, was among the victims of the workplace shooting last Thursday in Minneapolis. Keith attended North Central in the early 1980’s, even serving as Junior Class President, and went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in Pastoral Studies. Keith exemplified the best of NCU, living with a strong faith in God, commitment to family, and service to his community. Our prayers go out for his family and all who were touched by this senseless tragedy.
